OTTAWA, ON, Nov. 11, 2026 /CNW/ -- "Today, Canadians gather to honour the generations of women and men who answered the call. We remember those who spent years away from their loved ones, those who returned forever changed, and those who never came home. At cenotaphs across this nation, after the sounding of the 'Last Post', we will bow our heads to honour their service and sacrifice.

This year, we also remember Sergeant Morgan Wong, Private Shaun Farrell, Private Aidan Goulding, and Private Hayden Lykkemark – four Canadian soldiers who lost their lives while training to serve our country at CFB Wainwright. With their bright futures still before them, they chose to safeguard ours. We mourn their loss, stand with those recovering from their injuries, and hold their families and fellow service members in our thoughts.

In an increasingly dangerous and divided world, our rights and freedoms do not defend themselves. They are earned every single day. Our remembrance is more than an expression of gratitude. It is an act of vigilance and determination. And it is a promise: that what they defended, we will defend; that what they won, we will keep, forever cherish, and pass on.

Lest we forget."
